Birmingham City: Home hoodoo never played on Lee Clark's mind

Manager had faith in new look squad to improve St Andrew's form

Lee Clark insisted that he was not worried about Birmingham City's
terrible St Andrew’s record.

They went into the Brighton & Hove Albion game without a victory in the league on home soil in 18 attempts.

But all that changed thanks to Wes Thomas’ thumping header, which recorded a 1-0 success.

“I always stressed that this was a new group,” said the manager.

“I didn’t think it was an issue I had to address.

“I didn’t speak about it (to them) in pre-season because it’s a completely new squad, bar seven or eight players. And I think everyone saw a team playing the way I have wanted us to play since I first walked through the door.
